It is the plural 'German members of Parliament'; or members of the Bundestag.
The Bundestag is the lower house of the German Parliament

Bundestag deputies
You must keep the term Bundestag (which refers to the lower chamber of the German Federal Parliament situated in the old Berlin Reichstag building). The word deputies would normally be used to refer to elected representatives of such a chamber, rather than Memebers of Parliament, which generaly refers to the UK.

Geri Linda Metterle
